Established in 1946, the CAUX-Initiatives of Change Foundation (CAUX-IofC) aims to inspire, equip and connect individuals, groups and organizations to address world’s needs on the promotion of trust, ethical leadership and sustainable living, starting with themselves. Our objectives are to strengthen the ethical commitment of social, political and economic actors, to help heal the wounds of history by building trust and to nurture peace by forging networks among people of different faiths and cultures. Our holistic approach places the human being in the foreground. This breaks down silos and enables the individual to take the first steps towards a greater change. To achieve this, we organize and coordinate the International Caux Conferences, expert dialogues, seminars, programmes, training sessions and events all over Switzerland.

There is a common meeting ground in the fact that we all need to change - nations as well as people... if leaders change they can change their people. If people change, they can change their leaders.” , Founder of Initiatives of Change
